- not looking at crosswalks and you want to argue? this annoying trend started their and has spread all over the state now. "i have the right away" attitude and just walk right out in front of a car. you live in boulder and you want to deny this. its bad enough that you boulderites walk out with out looking at crosswalks but no you cant stop there you do it anywhere on the street. and then think you can do it when you travel to other towns in colorado
- love the cars are bad for the environment rant....so why did you buy a $45K or more 4 runner? why did you park it annoyingly close, instead of a good walk from your expensive one bedroom studio? walking is soooooo green. and bad for the environment, what about your newest iphone? you think making those with all the rare earth metals is good for the environment? the lithium batteries, the exploitation of 3rd world countries labor and resources are good?
-the strategy in boulder is to be ELITIST and think that everywhere should follow their lead. well there is a problem with that. you liberals are so lazy you need lower class people to clean up after you, and usually its minorities. they cant afford to live in boulder so they will have to commute from a distant town. (think hispanics who have to commute to aspen/vail, but live in sh*tholes). well no cars allowed in pristine boulder, so they take the bus...so glad you think about the little people cleaning up your filth.
- when i say "intellects" im not talking about the astro physics PhD Nobel prize winner, im talking about the self proclaimed intellects who think they are smart cause they are in their 9th year of college and changed majors 15 times and still have 5 years to go. or the ones who got worthless degrees, and work at the nearest coffee shop.
"the strategy in boulder seems to be to make driving so difficult that the commuters (you) will just complain so much about Boulder that they won't come here anymore. It's good for the environment"
this right here is exactly the elitest mentality im talking about. let me reword it as you really wanted to say it
"the strategy in boulder is make is so expensive, that its difficult for anyone but the rich white privilege to live here, and make it so the lower class whites and minorities wont be here anymore. its good for the environment"
